I am still struggling with this; which log should I be studying?

On Fedora the Apache log files are usually under /var/log/httpd and it
is worth looking at both what are conventionally named access_log and
error_log. Both location and names are set in the configuration and so
could be changed, but that should be where they are if you are using the
defaults.

My usual tactic is to browse to the page that is not working how I
expect and then look at whatever log files have just been updated. The
latest entries should be at the end, and it should give some clues as to
what the server saw and did.
